A Loving Gaze towards the Crucifix


A Loving Gaze towards the Crucifix

After she had devoutly touched a crucifix St. Gertrude learned a holy truth. 

“ … If anyone only looks at the image of the Cross of Jesus Christ with a holy intention, God rewards him with such goodness and mercy that he receives in his soul, as in a spotless mirror, an image which is so agreeable that the whole court of Heaven delights therein; and this serves to increase his eternal glory in the life to come in proportion as he has practiced this act of devotion in this life.”
